No visible gear cables

[grellboy]

The bikes one sees on various tours have no visible gear cables protruding from the top of the gear levers. What is the lowest/cheapest gearset one can get which would look like this? I thought I read 105 the other day but that's not right Shirley?

105 or a SRAM option

Who's Shirley?

 

[winjim]

Anything by Campagnolo.

 

[winjim]

Or mix and match if it's just the shifters you want.

 

[grellboy]

Its an old joke, you have heard it before Shirley? (sorry)!

 

[winjim]

I think it only Sram do the wireles, Shimano and Campagnolo have wires.

I think he doesn't mean electronic, but cables coming out the back and hidden under the bar tape.

 

[vickster]

Yeah no washing lines I think he means!

What's on the bike at the moment in terms of the groupset parts?

 

[gbb]

Campag Xenon. I thought they were going to discontinue Xenon some time ago ?

In Shimano world it used to be 105 upwards but the latest Tiagra shifters also have under tape routing now as well.
